1981 DODGE ARIES Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1981 Dodge Aries has two recalls, the more serious affecting vehicles with the 2.6-litre engine, where the throttle return spring can become wedged and prevent the throttle from closing, leaving the engine stuck at high speed with no way to reduce power. The brake system also has a concern: some vehicles may have left the factory with brake fluid that contains excess water. Water in brake fluid lowers its boiling point, which can cause the fluid to vaporize under hard braking and lead to a sudden loss of braking pressure.
